    Os vocais estão IM-PE-CÁ-VEIS (como sempre em todos os álbuns). A Ariana cresceu muito, ela ama o que faz, e verdadeiramente entrega sempre música de qualidade. Me sinto lisonjeado com esse álbum! Obrigado por tudo, Ariana!

Every single one tells a story and it's visible that with this project Ariana has something to say as befits a true artist and a huge pop star that she is. I love the fact that she's been exploring her sound and trying to find what suits her best and that's she's left all these cute pop songs she used to make to focus on more mature ones in which she's covering the subjects she's passionate about and she wants to talk about without being afraid of what would people think. That's how you know somebody is a true artist and a star. With that being said, Ariana Grande is undoubtedly at the peak of her game and she doesn't seem to change it. Amazing job! Congratulations!… Expand

    This album is just perfect. After Sweetener, I did not think that this album was so well produced, it shows the dedication that Ariana and her team had in the creation and adhesion of this. Each song has something special, the Album tells you a story. The darkest part of Ariana. A vulnerable Ariana that tries to leave after all the **** she has gone through. It is beautiful and deep. Perfect.

    Such a cohesive piece of work for the pop elite Ariana. She injects so much honesty into the attitude and swagger she brings into the table, without coming off arrogant. As appropriate as the title is, she's all so grateful to be here, to be a performer, to be the time's best, and to be following her own rules. I love this album and it hasn't stopped being on repeat.

    Um dos melhores álbuns do ano, Ariana se encontra em um grande momento musical, e o Thank u, next não se desviou nem um pouco disso. Seus incríveis vocais, se misturam a letras mais sensuais ou até mais tristes do que os seus antecessores, e conta com uma produção e arranjos impecáveis. A cada trabalho de Grande, ela mostra se superar mais e mais.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Hare una breve critica a cada cancion desde mi punto de vista

    1. IMAGINE._ Abrimos el album con el single promocional, una balada mid-tiempo haciendo referencia a Mac y destacando la voz por encima del instrumental.

    2. NEEDY._ Aun recuerdo que el titulo dejo cautivados a muchos y la esperaban con muchas ansias, lamentablemente fue lo contrario cuando la escuchamos; pues es otra balada mid-tiempo con influencias R&B, repetitiva tanto la lirica como el ritmo.

    3. NASA._ Este es el pop que hacia tanta falta! Es fresca, es divertida, es pegadiza y sobre todo la letra es tan hermosa: "Yo seria el universo y tu mi NASA". Personalmente es mi favorita del album.

    4. BLOODLINE._ Side To Side y 7 Rings tuvieron un hijo y lo llamaron Bloodline, los sax en el trasfondo resaltan mucho sin atosigar. La canción sera single si o si, promete ser un himno del verano.

    5. FAKE SMILE._ Tomando un viaje por el tiempo nos remonta a la epoca de My Everything, una balada con un coro electrizante y de sorpresa mete una pequeña estrofa rapeada la cual es imposible olvidarla.

    6. BAD IDEA._ Girando la perilla drasticamente al genero urbano nos topamos con Bad Idea. Tiene un ritmo vibrante y va totalmente acorde al album, siendo una de las favoritas.Lastimosamente la era pretende ser corta, de lo contrario seria single seguro.

    7. MAKE UP._.....thank u, next. No, no es que sea mala pero no destaca del resto del album, es una mezcla de sonidos dulces con un trap improvisado el cual no logra convencer a la primer reproducida.

    8. GHOSTIN._ Estaba esperando este momento, llegar a la balada sin depender de algun ritmo en particular, solo relajarnos con un fondo muy sutil mientras disfrutamos la voz de Ariana la cual es la protagonista en esta hermosa cancion.

    9. IN MY HEAD._ Neutral, la canción se pierde si es la primera vez que la escuchas no pretende ser recordada por su coro, por su instrumental o por su letra, es tan solo meh...

    10. 7 RINGS._ El segundo single del album con influencias R&B, trap y hip-hop, no hay mucho que decir, su objetivo era ser exito y lo consiguio. ¿Quien no ha verseado "I want it, i got it"?

    11. THANK U, NEXT._ Lead single, primer #1 en la carrera de Grande era imposible no conseguirlo. Pop fresco, pop moderno y el mismo nombre que lleva la quinta era.

    12. BREAK UP, WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, I'M BORED._ Normalmente me gusta despedir un album con alguna balada, con alguna canción muy personal, sin embargo esta vez difiero pues si nos basamos en el tracklist empezamos agradeciendole a un amor y terminamos convertidos en un corazon frio despues de todo el viaje que tuvimos en el disco, antes llorabamos por un ex, ahora nosotros mandamos.

    RESUMEN: El album como mencione tiene un proposito y lo cumple mientras lo vamos escuchando, empoderarnos, subir nuestro ego y sentirnos inalcanzables. Las letras que acompañan las baladas rompen ese "femme fatale" y lo balancea perfectamente.
    Para ser un album que salio con tanta prisa he de decir que es ya de mis favoritos. Seas o no fan, alguna de estas canciones se te quedarán grabadas.

    This album is brilliant. Her second best album after Dangerous Woman in my opinion. A major improvement over Sweetener now that Pharrell is gone.

    The album starts out with a pop/r&b ballad called Imagine that I was not fond of when it first came out, but it grew on me now I love it. My favourite songs are Fake Smile, Bloodline, Ghostin and Bad Idea. The whole album is just so amazing.    This album is brilliant. Her second best album after Dangerous Woman in my opinion.

    “Thank U, Next” is one of 2019’s best albums. Ariana shows great artistic growth from “Sweetener” and experiments with genres like trap. Through the ballads and power anthems, Ms. Grande provides jaw-dropping vocals and beautiful lyricism. “Thank U, Next” is also one of Ariana’s most cohesive albums, tied with 2018’s “ Sweetener”.

It's great how this is almost different that her previous albums, it gives us new vibes. And this is great, because no one would always hear the same music from the same person. This truly shows how talented this petite girl is, and no doubt her success will mark a history in the industry of music.… Expand

    Princesa do pop faz assim né mores. Diferente de todos os trabalhos da carreira e ainda assim consegue manter uma consistência incrível em todas as faixas. Mixagem perfeita, sonoridade maravilhosa, grande como somente Grande conseguiria fazer. Não posso dizer que é o álbum da carreira pois acredito que Ariana ainda vai nos surpreender muito. ARTISTA DE VERDADE!

    It is to applaud the way that Ariana was able to turn the adversities of her life into beautiful lyrics and an extremely personal album. In "Thank U, Next" we know what would be the genuine phoenix of pop, Grande has reached the highest level that a pop artist can achieve transmitting a truth with a lot of quality

    This album represents a significant change in music culture. It's vulnerable lyrics accompanied by hard-hitting beats result in beautifully produced and written songs. Songs are catchy yet deep. Ariana lived up to the hype through this album and brought fans something new and addictive. Thank you, next is one of the best albums of 2019 so far, and definitely Ariana Grande's best album to date.

    The follow up to dangerous woman we needed. Sweetener was a decent album and all but this album completely overtakes it. The production is perfect and more evolved than her previous albums. This whole album is breathtaking, Ariana once again proves she can easily top her best work.

    This album is MASTERFUL. Not only is the album Ariana's most thematically and musically cohesive, but it's also full of songs that stand up on there own. One of the best albums I've seen from a "popular" artist in a long time. Very personal.

    Another Masterpiece was released today by the one and only miss Ariana Grande. Her most personal album to date, "Thank U, Next" stands as a beautiful work of art with a tangible theme of duality.

Her most personal album to date, "Thank U, Next" stands as a beautiful work of art with a tangible theme of duality. From the very first song "imagine," Grande sings about a sweet, imaginary world of innocent intimacy with the love of her life, yet from her touching, woeful tone it can be deduced that all this bubbly fantasy is nothing but a painfully elusive dream that leaves no traces in reality.

    Continuing with this theme, Grande sings in her gorgeous song "Needy" about being obsessive and loving too much; however, later she comes back with songs like "Bloodline" and " 7 rings" displaying more sense of independence and confidence in what she wants in life and what she aspires to get as a powerful woman who has learned both from the ups and downs of life and doesn't need any partner to find her way through.

    Furthermore, this album has clearer messages of personal growth and self-discovery than her previous work "Sweetener." Her impeccable vulnerability in this album is what allows this work to be more convincing, making it easier to connect with her audience on a deeper level. Overall, Queen Ariana Grande has proven multiple times that she hasn't come to play, and this album has only raised the bar for her. It is absolutely exciting to see how her career is going to evolve from here, but for now, it is only suitable to celebrate this sublime music.    … Expand

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
